Restaurant: At The Feathers Inn, our food begins with where we are.
We work closely with local growers, farmers, and foragers — people who know this landscape as well as we do. From heritage-breed meats to wild greens, everything we serve reflects the rhythms of the Northumbrian countryside and the integrity of the people who produce it. Fresh, sustainable, and crafted with care.
No shortcuts, just honest cooking that celebrates the flavours of the land. It’s not about fuss. It’s about flavour, and a deep belief in doing things properly.
Bakery: Saturday Mornings from 10 am till 12 noon. At first light each Saturday the scent of rising dough, brown sugar, and melting butter fills the air as trays of sweet buns, flakey pies, and seasonal bakes are pulled from the ovens — each made by hand, the way it’s always been.
The Feathers Bakehouse isn’t open long. Just one morning a week. But it’s enough.
Enough to slow the day, to bring the village together — and to remind us that the best things are often the simplest. One day a week. Worth the wait.
Hill Top Pizza Company: A hidden slice of summer. Tucked just beyond the dry stone wall in front of The Feathers Inn, the Pizza Yard is a quietly seasonal pop-up rooted in good company, and handmade tradition.
Each summer, we roll out a stone-baked menu shaped by local growers and slow-fermented doughs. We just make honest, beautiful pizza — a little off the beaten path, and all the better for it.
No reservations. Pull up a bench, share a bottle, and watch the sun go down over the yard.
From 5pm till 8pm Friday and Saturday’s. Take Away or eat in the Yard. May till the end of August.
We are not able to cater for allergies due to the risk of cross contamination.

No bookings for the Bakery or Pizzas in the yard.
